Hello November and happy Fall! I hope you have had a chance to spend some time outside and enjoy the warmer fall weather and sights last month. Although it was lovely, we are still heading to the fall season. This is another friendly reminder about checking on your furnace or heat source. Be sure to check that your windows will keep the heat in. These are important things to ensure you are safe and warm this winter.
Do not forget about emergency items such as bottled water, shelf food (things that can be eaten without being refrigerated or cooked), extra blankets, flashlights, and batteries. Bad weather sneaks up on us sometimes and it will be easier for us if we try to be prepared for it.
The food boxes happening this month are the CSFP (senior cheese box) and will be on Fri., Nov. 8 at 12 p.m. This food box now takes place at Tri Point Church of God in Mio. The Together We Can Pantry food box will be on Thur., Nov. 21 from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the fairgrounds. They ask that you bring your ID to show you live in the county and a banana box if you have one. If they run out of food, they will be gone before 2:30.
This month’s full moon, also called the Beaver Moon or Frost Moon, will be beautifully shining at 4:29 pm on Nov. 15. It will be the fourth and final supermoon of four in a row for 2024.
The Senior Center will be serving a Thanksgiving Meal for the congregate diners on Nov. 21 from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Suggested donation for 60+ is $3.00 and if you are under 60 the meal will cost $6.50. Come join us for a great holiday meal. The Senior Center will be closed for Thanksgiving Day on Nov. 28 and 29.
In September, The Council on Aging delivered 2376 meals to our Home Delivered Meal clients and served 524 meals to congregate diners that come in for lunch.
The Council’s Board meeting will be on Mon., Nov. 18 at 1 p.m. Members of the public are welcome to attend.
This month’s full moon, also called the Beaver Moon or Frost Moon, will be beautifully shining at 4:29 pm on Nov. 15. It will be the fourth and final supermoon of four in a row for 2024. I hope you get to see it!
There is always at least one thing to be grateful for daily. Have a thankful month and keep smiling! Share those smiles to brighten someone else’s day too. Please be kind, it is such an easy thing to do! The world sure needs more smiles, positivity, and kindness.
